Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has refuted claims that he has resigned as the ODM deputy party leader.

The vocal Governor and a strong defender of ODM party leader Raila Odinga was responding to a letter making rounds on social media dated 4th October 2020 addressed to Raila Odinga alleging that he has resigned as his deputy.

"I hereby thank you for the opportunity you granted me as a deputy party leader in ODM" reads the letter.

Adding "It has been a learning experience for me and I do hereby tender my resignation as your deputy.”

The ODM party also responded to the letter stating ''Our DPL is firmly, strongly and unwaveringly in the Party... ignore the FAKE news."

Joho is tomorrow expected to lead a host of ODM politicians from the Coast region including Governors to accompany the ODM candidate for the Msambweni by election Omar Boga to present his papers to the independent electoral and boundaries commission (IEBC) in Kwale
